Just re-subbed today and I wanted to play with my girlfriend.

I had my router (linksys e2000) set up to forward the ports to my computer's ip, however if she tries to connect it will instantly log my character off and she won't get a portal login, her screen will just stay black and eventually say that she's been disconnected. Any ideas on how to get past this problem?

Nevermind, got this figured out by assigned a port to each computer and doing single port forwarding, thanks anyway.

My brother with a WRT54G2 router couldn't get him and his wife on at the same time.
Once one logged on the other would log off..

There was an option in the firmware for Quality of Service I think it was.. Turned that on and it fixed the issue.
